i just finished reading the following article in the Student BMJ and i was aghast to read that the organisation Truth in Science had sent a DVD promoting Intelligent Design to all heads of science in every secondary school in the UK
i can only hope that they did one of the following on receipt of the DVD :
1. throw it in the waste bin where it belongs
2. petition the prime minister, stating that lobbying of state schools by religious groups is not on
3. read up on the whole ID saga and teach it to students showing how and why ID (and its parent creationism) is not science
is it any surprise that atheism is becoming more militant ? so would you if you had to deal with this type of underhand tactics to undermine proper science
medics are usually not all that fussed about evolution - on the other hand, they probably realise how evolution is the underpinning of all biological and medical knowledge, so if they start becoming uneasy maybe it's time to take the threat of organised ignorance seriously
